We investigate the properties of a harmonic chain in contact with a thermal bath at one end and subjected, at its other end, to a periodic force. The particles also undergo a random velocity reversal action, which results in a finite heat…

We present two approaches to the heat flow on a Finsler manifold $(M,F)$: either as gradient flow on $L^2(M,m)$ for the energy; or as gradient flow on the reverse $L^2$-Wasserstein space $\mathcal{P}_2(M)$ of probability measures on $M$ for…
